The ignorance of the Omnipotent
Into two Branches doth it selfe diuide,
Atheisme , and Superstition , either bent
From Truth , and in their backward bent abide
The First, incountring Natures stiff, and hard,
Begetts in them scorne of Religion:
The last, with supple Natures, more afeard,
In them ingenders Superstition
These, to Religion, are the two Extreames:
Twixt whome she rests, a Vertue most Diuine!
Crowned with three in One rare Diadems,
By Heau'ns great Thre in One, or single-Trine!
These Two bewitche the World; for, at this daie
Most pray amisse, or els they misse to pray.
